How can a custodial parent whose kids are over 18 years old get back child support dropped in Texas?
You may not be able to. If your children where under the age of 18 when the decree for support was created then the non-custodial parent is still responsible for that support. Only a few states back date, which means that if you had the decree written up when the child was 17 then the non-custodial parent would have to pay from the day that they left the house. States can garnish wages for back child support, and also garnish tax refunds to pay child support. If it was dropped due to the child moving out on their own at age 16, which is when a child can rent their own place in Texas, than it cannot be reengaged.
